ort Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I've read on social media that some of his classmates confirmed that he was definitely politically conservative. Apparently in some sort of social studies / current events class the kids had some sort of debate where they all had to defend whatever side and he was always on the conservative side. Who knows anymore, it could be complete BS. Who knows. Does it really matter? It sounds like this guy falls into more of the disaffected teen, lone weirdo type who decided go to shoot at the president instead of shooting up his school. My guess is that this was more about being mentally deranged than trying to make a political statement, but again, who the hell knows. The problem with the inflammatory political rhetoric is that there are a lot of deranged/damaged/unhinged people out there. It is comical to me hearing any republican complain about the current political rhetoric though. They can take those thought and ram them up their dumb asses. It's fucking nonsense. The GOP is 100 times more inflammatory and deranged in there messaging. It's not even fucking close so they should sit down and shut the fuck up. Donald Trump is the single most inflammatory and hyperbolic candidate to exist. No one who supports Trump has any ground to stand on in this discussion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like this might be another case where the minority who obsesses over every bump of the news cycle is absolutely convinced of one thing because of their perspective....but it doesn't reflect reality. I mean, I will admit even I thought it. When it happened surely this was political. But taking a step back it looks like it wasn't....and indeed it looks very much like the actions and motivations of an "average" school shooter. I don't say it very often, but I will say this is an instance where "both sides" do something. We all try to assign rational thought to someone commiting an act that is almost by definition an irrational act. Granted, sometimes it is a political act, but I even joked about it earlier...how often does this happen and we find out the guy is absolutely uncategorizable in terms of politics?

Fizzzzle Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I love the nutjobs that are saying Biden is behind it. In fact, I love Schrodinger's Biden. He is both equally "sleepy Joe" inept Joe Biden and also the mastermind behind every plot. And guess what, even if he DID order the assassination, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ nothing you can do about it. For all we know, all Joe Biden had to do was sign a paper to hire a guy through a military contractor and that's now an "official act." But this sucks in every possible way, not just for my own political agenda. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nokra Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It's pretty amazing and hilarious to me that she would admit that Biden called her but Trump has not. To a normal person (I know, I know) that's all you'd need to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two aren’t remotely the same though. Trump is a demagogue and the most divisive president in over 100 years. If my spouse was killed at a 2012 Obama event and Romney was the only who called me, I would actually consider voting for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
